[plug] Server Engineer job opening

[Just A Decoy]

I'm moving from a role doing Managed Services and Maintenance to a new
company who've offered me a role doing Projects and R&D.
I have minimal complaints about the current job it's just that a
friend at the new place put me forward for a job there and it's more
aligned with what I want to be doing.

Complaints I have about the current place:
It's a big company (Alphawest big, not CSC big) and mostly Microsoft
focused people so by being out on site 80% of the time you're likely
going to build rapport with clients and not people you are notionally
in a team with, this may not bother you, it does me.
There are 2 people doing what I do with a few more coming up to this
level so there's limited peer support / ideas sharing etc.
There's minimal scope for project work which is what I find most
interesting in IT.

What's good:
The clients are great, 2 oil exploration companies and some ad hoc
bits here and there for some other companies.
Pay is reasonable. (Is anyone truly happy?)
Staff at Empired are pretty universally cool and helpful with stuff I
don't know (more than I do know, that's for sure)
There is scope to take the job into most specialisations and they seem
to be expanding the Red Hat offerings to clients, just not fast enough
for me.
